Thank you for your review, Paul.
We really appreciate you recognising that interest can naturally vary, and sometimes it simply takes a little longer to find the right new home.
If you'd like to give your advert an extra boost, a Featured Ad can receive up to 5x more responses. You can also add up to three videos to your Freeads Pets advert, giving prospective owners a much better opportunity to see your pets and their personalities.
Thank you for choosing Freeads Pets, Paul. We hope the perfect new home isn't far away.

Thank you for giving Freeads Pets a try. We're sorry your kitten and his mum didn't find their new homes through us on this occasion.
For future adverts, there are a few ways to help attract more interest. A Featured Ad can receive up to 5x more responses, while adding up to three videos gives prospective owners a much better opportunity to see your pets, their personalities and what makes them special.
Every rehoming journey is different, but we'd love the opportunity to help you achieve a better result next time. Thank you for choosing Freeads Pets.

Thank you for your feedback, Sharon.
We're pleased to hear you've had a positive experience advertising with Freeads Pets, but we're sorry to hear about your concerns when looking for pets.
All our adverts are manually checked by our pet welfare team as well as our passionate pet loving community.
Please can you share with our support team the advert you are referring to as its unusual for us to receive feedback of this type.
Thank you for raising your concerns and for helping us keep Freeads Pets a safe and responsible place to rehome pets.

Thank you for your feedback.
Advertising your pet on Freeads Pets is completely free. VIP membership is an optional service for buyers and helps our lovely breeders and pet owners prioritise enquiries from members who have chosen to take that extra step.
You certainly don't need to pay to place an advert, and thousands of members continue to use Freeads Pets for free.
We appreciate the opportunity to clarify the difference between our free advertising service and the optional benefits available with VIP membership.
